“The signing ceremony took place at Carthage Palace under the co-chairmanship of Caretaker President Moncef Marzouki and King Mohammad VI of Morocco,” TAP news agency said.
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.
