Usage of 'As such'

In a separate statement, Mr Mohd Zuki said that in line with Dr Mahathir's resignation, the king has also revoked the appointments of all ministers on Monday.

"As such, the duties of the members in the administration (including deputy prime minister, ministers, deputy ministers and political secretaries) are terminated on the same date," he said.

Is "As such" used correctly in the above text.

Thanks.
