RABAT, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Vice President Joe Biden arrived Wednesday at the Morocco resort Marrakech on the first leg of his five-day tour that will also take him to Ukraine and Turkey.
Biden will meet Wednesday with Moroccan king Mohammed VI in the central city of Fez to discuss a number of issues, a statement from the U.S. embassy in Rabat said.
On Thursday, Biden will deliver remarks to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Marrakesh. This is the fifth Global Entrepreneurship Summit since President Obama first announced the program in a speech at Cairo University in 2009, the statement added.
This summit is a way to bring together world leaders to identify how we can deepen ties between business leaders, foundations and social entrepreneurs in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.
Biden is expected to depart Marrakech en route to Kyiv, Ukraine on Thursday.
