The Moroccan monarch is on three-day official visit to Tunisia, the birthplace of the Arab Spring. The king is accompanied by a large delegation of 11 ministers and 90 businessmen.

Mohammad VI will also meet Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa on Saturday and give a speech to the National Constituent Assembly at 1530 GMT, AFP reported.

Shortly after his election to the presidency in 2012, Marzouki visited Morocco, a country he is familiar with having lived there.
