In an interview with PTI, Mr Saran also said India would expect that China recognises it as a rising power and deals with it on equal terms.
Dealing with China would be a "challenge" for India during its G20 presidency and New Delhi would adopt a "cautious approach" towards Beijing, judging it by its deeds and not words, former deputy national security advisor Pankaj Saran said on Sunday.
In an interview with PTI, Mr Saran also said India would expect that China recognises it as a rising power and deals with it on equal terms.
He said India's number one priority during its upcoming G20 presidency should be to restore the economic order that provides stability and creates an atmosphere conducive to the growth of an economy such as itself.
India should focus on bringing a semblance of sanity back into the global order, said Mr Saran, who is a member of the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB).
