  "account": "Fahd bin Jalawi, the chief of the Saudi Camel Federation, has attributed the success of the Crown Prince Camel Festival to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's patronage. Speaking at the opening of the eighth edition of the festival in Taif, bin Jalawi expressed deep gratitude to the Crown Prince for his generous support, which he said is the primary force behind the festival's achievements and the growth of camel racing in Saudi Arabia. The festival, he asserted, has become the largest and most prestigious event of its kind globally.\n\nBin Jalawi also commended Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, the Minister of Sports and President of the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee, for his ongoing oversight ensuring the federation receives all necessary resources and means to maintain excellence and foster continuous development in its events. He emphasized the federation's honor in hosting this major festival, which resonates deeply with the Saudi public, and its dedication to delivering a top-tier edition that matches the Crown Prince's support.\n\nThe federation aims to uphold and elevate this heritage to the highest standards, in line with Saudi Vision 2030's objectives to reinforce cultural identity and bolster the Kingdom's status as a leading force in international sports.",
