United Nations members generally agree that Asia should provide the next head for the UN, after a break of three decades, Secretary General Kofi Annan said on Thursday.

The last general secretary from Asia was U. Thant of Burma, now Myanmar, whose decade-long term ended in 1971 and Annan said it was the continents turn again.

– I think unless there are dramatic changes, most member states see it as Asias chance, Annan, whose second term as secretary general finishes at the end of next year, told a news conference in New Delhi.
