Bilateral cooperation between China and Bahrain has continued to deepen, with trade surpassing $2 billion and Chinese companies playing an active role in energy, housing, telecommunications, and manufacturing projects. These initiatives align closely with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 and China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

Speaking at a reception marking the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chinese Ambassador to Bahrain H.E. Ni Ruchi also highlighted the growing cultural exchanges between the two countries. He noted that more Bahrainis are visiting China to experience its culture, while Bahrain continues to host an increasing number of Chinese cultural events.
