List of twin towns and sister cities in Cape Verde
This is a list of places in Cape Verde having standing links to local communities in other countries. In many cases, these completely ceremonial associations, especially when formalized by the local governments, are called by the fallacious name of "town twinning" – though other terms, such as "sister city" and "partner town" are far more accurate. While most of the places included in this list are municipalities (one covers the two main islands, the four are a single municipality cover the whole main island, three are in the east including Sal, Boa Vista ad Maio and the other is Brava) and cities with similar links. The regional level has no administration.
The list includes twin towns and sister cities of municipalities in Cape Verde linked by a sister-city agreement or friendship agreements.
