Japan's Finance Ministry says a top bureaucrat is denying a weekly magazine's report alleging that he had sexually harassed female reporters.

Fukuda's denial follows the weekly Shukan Shincho magazine reporting in its Thursday edition that he made remarks to female reporters while drinking that were overtly sexual in nature.

He did not consider remarks he made to the reporter as constituting sexual harassment, the ministry said in the statement. He also said he is preparing to sue the magazine's publisher for defamation.

The Finance Ministry said it will commission a lawyer to continue its investigation into the matter so as to secure objectivity.

The ministry quoted Fukuda as saying he did not recall having the reported exchanges with the female reporter or having a meal with the reporter.

The allegations against Fukuda come at a time of sinking public support for the Finance Ministry amid a cronyism scandal centered around the ministry and a nationalist school operator with ties to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's wife.
