Nayef appears to have made himself irremovable. He is in a position to remind his brothers, Crown Prince Sultan and King Abdullah, that regardless of who makes the public statements, it is he who maintains the stability of the kingdom, and his organization that, keeps the royal family in power. Nayef's influence is truly remarkable. It was Nayef, not Saud, who went to Iran for the groundbreaking meeting to renew relations with the revolutionary regime in April 2001.

Nayef took the decision to begin issuing women with identity cards in November 2001. The Directorate of Civil Status issued the first identity cards to women on 3 November, thus making it much easier for women to carry out transactions - financial, legal and social - and is therefore considered a highly significant move. Previously women were registered on their husband's or father's identity cards.
