Colombia will continue seeking a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to end the 50-year-old armed conflict in the country, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said Monday.

Santos made the remarks while addressing a military parade held in Bogota to celebrate the country's 205th anniversary of independence.

The Colombian government and the FARC are currently holding peace talks in Cuba to end the long-lasting armed conflict.

Military parades were also conducted in Medellin, Bucaramanga and Cali, the first city to be emancipated, to celebrate the 205th anniversary.
