TUNIS, June 27 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns said his country will spare no efforts to support Tunisia's transition, TAP reported on Monday.

The U.S. official who arrived in Tunis on Monday, met with the country's foreign affairs minister Mouldi Kefi.
