The year 2010 saw further development of the friendly relations and cooperation between the People's Republic of China and the Kingdom of Bahrain.

In May, Wang Chen, Minister of the International Communication Office of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of the State Council Information Office, headed a delegation to Bahrain for the Second China-Arab Media Cooperation Forum. In the same month, Nizar Albahrna, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, attended the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum in China. In June, Deputy Prime Minister Mohammed bin Mubarak al-Khalifa paid a private visit to China and toured the Shanghai World Expo. Minister of Information and Culture al-Sheikh Mei Bin Mohammed al-Khalifa led a delegation to China for a meeting of the China-Arab Cultural Cooperation Forum and some events of the Arab Cultural Festival.

In the wake of the earthquake in Yushu, Qinghai Province, King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, President of the Council of Representatives Khalid bin Ahmed al-Dhahrani and Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa sent messages of condolences to President Hu Jintao, NPC Chairman Wu Bangguo and Premier Wen Jiabao respectively.
