Just referring a line from statement of COAS that may give an excellent idea about the visit. Note that this is happening right after when Indian General started to score points on specific patting by US availing opportunity.
COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa remarked that Pakistan and Sri Lanka were probably the only countries which understand what it takes to defeat the menace of terrorism.

pretty much similar uniform inherited from British army. Indian army has same outlook too except the color.
This is an Army-Army interaction. The CoAS of the Pakistan Army would not be holding talks about supplying JF-17s etc. That is handled through the MoD. The focus of such bi-lateral visits is to increase the cooperation between the armies such as joint training opportunities etc. and to meet with old friends in the SLA.
kudos to Sri Lanka-Pakistan relations, long may they blossom.
