Part of a country surrounded by foreign territory (7)

I believe the answer is:

enclave

(Other definitions for enclave that I've seen before include "Isolated territory enclosed by valence" , "Piece of territory within another country" , "Cultural group embedded in a larger one" , "Distinct territory within another" , "Enclosure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
