Sister cities
Twinned with Kinshasa
5 of 7 in this atlas
Kinshasa maintains formal twinning links with five cities across three continents. Ties with Ankara, Brazzaville, Dakar, and Tehran are mutual, each city naming Kinshasa in return. The pairing with Incheon is one-sided, listed by Kinshasa but not reciprocated. Brazzaville, just across the river, stands out for its proximity among otherwise distant partners.

1 of these do not list Kinshasa back. Twinning is declared independently by each municipality, so one-sided pairs are common — and usually more interesting than the mutual ones.
