MOSCOW, December 25 (RIA Novosti) - Speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament Boris Gryzlov said Sunday that the Public Chamber, which had completed the appointment of its members Friday, was a unique institution for Russia. According to Gryzlov, the appointment of the Public Chamber meant the implementation of the president's initiative stimulating the development of civil society in the country.

"The Public Chamber represents a wide range of public associations across the country. Many members of the Public Chamber are people who are well known and respected both in the country and abroad. There are all grounds for the Chamber to make its decisions, recommendations and initiatives fully reflect the opinion of the Russian public," Gryzlov said.

The speaker also said that there should be close interaction between state authorities and public associations and political parties, and between the state and society as a whole.
