On 20 to 21 April, Deputy Foreign Minister U Maung Myint also visited Mrauk U Township to mobilize Arakanese people to cast "yes" votes in the referendum.
On 20 April, General Thein Swe, who is in charge of Arakan State's Union Solidarity Development Association, visited Pauktaw Township in the accompaniment of Arakan State governor, General Maung Shin.
He also met several members of rural administrative councils in the township at the town hall on 20 April and explained about the referendum and it's importance in the future of Burma.
During the organizing trip, General Thein Swe also donated a school and much cash to local residents.
On 21 April, Navy Admiral Soe Thein also visited the Danyawaddy navy base in Kyaukpru to organize the navy sailors to cast "yes" votes in the referendum, but there is not information on whether he met with local people or not.
