Which landlocked country has Dushanbe as its capital?

Tajikistan is the landlocked country whose capital is Dushanbe.

Dushanbe is located in the Hissar Valley in western Tajikistan and serves as the country’s political, cultural and economic centre. The city’s name means “Monday” in Tajik, referring to the traditional weekly market that historically took place there.

Tajikistan is a mountainous Central Asian country bordered by Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and China. Much of its territory lies in the Pamir and Alay mountain systems, giving it some of the highest terrain in the region.

The capitals of nearby countries can cause confusion: Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Tashkent of Uzbekistan and Ashgabat of Turkmenistan. Dushanbe belongs specifically to Tajikistan.
