"His sacrifices for the democracy and development of his country, for years, marked the history," said king.
The body of President Essebsi was buried on Saturday in Al-Zallag cemetery in the Tunisian capital, under high security measures.
Essebsi enjoys the trust and respect of Arab and foreign leaders and has contributed, since his rise to the presidency, to the promotion of the Tunisian diplomacy.
Essebsi was born on Nov. 29, 1926 in Sidi Bou Said in the northern suburbs of the capital.
He studied law in Paris until 1950, and two years later became a lawyer in his home country.
His first involvement in politics dates back to 1941, when he joined the Neo Destour party, a Tunisian political party founded by a group of Tunisian nationalist politicians during the French colonization.
Following the country's independence from France in 1956, Essebsi began to exercise high political responsibilities.
He took over the Tunisian presidency after winning the 2017 elections.
