尖閣領有権の棚上げ論に前原外相「合意した事実はない」. Asahi Shimbun, Oct. 21, 2010.

My translation:
(i) title  Regarding the shelving of Senkaku territorial right, Foreign Minister Maehara: fact of agreement did not exist.
(ii) text
Foreign minister Maehara testified before lower house: Concerning Senkaku territorial right,  supreme leader of China Deng Xiaoping stated in 1978 that it could be temporarily shelved; but "that was Mr. Deng's unilateral pronouoncement, to which Japan did not agree. In reply to lawmaker 神風英男 of Democratic Party of Japan, Maehara emphasized Japan's position that  Senkaku Islands were Japan's historical territory, and that there is no territorial dispute between China and Japan.

China in early 1970s advocated ownership of Senkakus, but in the lead-up to the 1978 signing of Japan and China peace treaty, Mr. Deng stated the issue should be left to the next generation, and approved the shelving to facilitate deepening of relationship. (Paragraph 3 is about gas field in East China Sea.)

(summary of Japan's and China's claims on Senkaku Islands)

Japan has stated that even if China's records refer to Senkaku Islands, it is not enough to confer sovereignty under international law, for China never proclaimed sovereignty until 1968(?).
