The two capital cities sharing a border in the south are:

Kinshasaa, Democratic Republic of Congo and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo

The smallest country anywhere is:

Vatican City

The distance between the two is:

5120 KM

Old Answer before the edit:

The distance from the border of the largest country to the smallest country is:

0 km. They share a border.

Two possible options are:
1. Vatican City and Rome, Italy
2. Kinshasaa, Democratic Republic of Congo and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo

The smallest of these is of course Vatican City

  • $\begingroup$ I used information from wikipedia actually, stating center of VC is 2km from Center of Rome. I can see your point, but it depends on what you measure the distance from. $\endgroup$
