Perhaps minor defense cooperation MoUs may be signed, or co-production deals on minor items at most. Nothing major should come out of this, as it seems to be more of a courtesy call to maintain good relations.

Indeed due to Uncle Sam we always have difficulties having defence pacts with countries like SA.

Not really. SA and Pakistan have quite a good relationship, and SA has offered to sell it's equipment to Pakistan, along with cooperate in defense projects. It's mostly Pakistan that ends up backing out, mostly due to funding problems. While the US does have some pressure, it's not as much as you think.

So I'm guessing a JV on small arms maybe?
