Managed to continue with foreign capital (7)

I believe the answer is:

rangoon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreign capital' is the definition.
'Rangoon' can be an answer for 'capital' (Rangoon is an example). I am not certain of the 'foreign' bit.

'managed to continue' is the wordplay.
'managed' becomes 'ran' (both can mean organised or was in charge of).
'to continue' becomes 'go on' ('go on' can be a synonym of 'continue').
'ran'+'goon'='RANGOON'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rangoon that I've seen before include "Former Burmese capital" , "Burma's capital" , "Port and largest city of Burma" , "It's now Yangon in Myanmar" , "Former capital of Burma" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
