Person
Zhang Jun (, 1086–1154), was a Chinese military general and politician who fought during the Jin–Song Wars. His battle with Jurchen commander Wuzhu at Mingzhou near the temporary Song capital of Hangzhou briefly halted the Jin advance, giving the Song Emperor Gaozong the chance to flee the city by ship. Soon after, his army suppressed rebellions and banditry in the south alongside the generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Yang Qizhong, and others. Emperor Gaozong diminished the power of the military by moving Yue, Han, and Zhang to civilian positions in 1141. A year later, the Song finished negotiating a peace treaty with the Jin.

“We highly commend the right decision made by the Government of Nicaragua (to switch diplomatic relations from Republic of China to the People's Republic of China), which is in line with the prevailing trend of the times and people's aspirations.”
“The overwhelming view of the international community is clear: an immediate humanitarian ceasefire is the overriding priority. We will not stop but continue to make our efforts to save lives, to uphold justice and to pursue peace.”
