French President Francois Hollande is in Colombia's capital as part of a two-day tour to express his support for a peace deal to end the country's half-century conflict.
It's the first visit to the South American nation by a French head of state in 28 years.
Hollande was received with honors Monday by President Juan Manuel Santos.
He is expected to travel Tuesday to a rural zone where guerrillas belonging to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia are preparing to turn over their weapons to United Nations-backed observers as part of a historic peace deal.
France is a major supporter of the peace deal as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and through donations to rebuild war torn communities being channeled through the European Union.
