This is a list of municipalities of Sweden which have standing links to local communities in other countries known as "town twinning" (Swedish: vänort) (usually in Europe) or "sister cities" (usually in the rest of the world).
As a sign of deteriorating relations with China, Gothenburg, Linköping, Luleå and Västerås, which have had long-standing twinning or partnership agreements with Chinese cities – Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xian and Jinan respectively – have allowed the agreements to lapse in 2020.[1] Linköping mayor Lars Vikinge told that they were terminating all political contact with China because of the unacceptable Chinese hostility towards the Swedish government.[1]
