Twinned with Islamabad
7 of 9 in this atlas
Islamabad's twinning ties span several continents, linking it to Abu Dhabi, Amman, Ankara, Beijing, Jakarta, and Sydney, each of which names Islamabad in turn. Toronto also appears on Islamabad's list, though that pairing is not returned. Together the pattern shows a capital with mostly reciprocal partnerships, set apart by one relationship acknowledged from only one side.
