At the conference speakers said the Defense Ministry again plans to light the lamp atop of a tower on Aegibong in Kagum-ri of Hasong-myon, Kimpho City from Dec. 22 this year to January 2 next year.

If this happens, it will lead to an acute situation in which a military conflict with the north may occur, they warned.

They portrayed the lighting as a psychological warfare against the north, not a religious service.

If the military wants peace on the Korean Peninsula, it should stop at once its confrontation policy toward the north, they urged.
